The absolute minimum we must do if we manage to retake power and want to fix anything is arrest and send Roberts, Kavanaugh, Barrett, Scalia, Gorsuch, and Thomas to fucking CECOT or South Sudan while they await trial. 

Probably worth pointing out that this is just more DVD.  The district court tried an end run around the stay of injunction and this cuts it off.

Kagan concurred with this despite dissenting from the stay.

Serious. When habeas corpus isn’t a thing, why do you think there is anything?

Pretty sure Scalia can't be arrested.

I've come to dread seeing this thread bumped.

Same. “In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court has ruled that immigrants are not technically people, and are now all the property of Donald J. Trump…..”

"Well this was actually a narrow ruling, and it technically leaves the door open for Trump's property to formally request emancipation from an 'independent' personhood panel of experts, powered by Grok™ and Palantir so it's not that bad."

Holding out for the explanation about why no habeas protection leaves any vestige of a legal framework.

So should we be going to the shooting range weekly at this point?  It kinda feels like we should, the way things are going. 

On that note, at least suppressors may finally come off the NFA. It would make range trips and hunting much more pleasant

Save the ammo.   We might need it.

Strong stuff from this writer, makes a very good case for Roberts being a worse Chief Justice than even Taney or Fuller

https://www.publicnotice.co/p/john-roberts-worst-chief-justice-of-all-time

closing paragraphs are basically the thesis

Quote

If the current Court had limited itself to the frequent conservative projects of dismantling civil rights and protecting big business, John Roberts might not get the nod as Worst Chief Ever. But the Roberts Court boasts two additional features that make it an unmatched threat to democracy. First, the conservatives on the Court have gleefully abandoned any pretense of rigorous legal analysis or consistency with past decisions. That’s why you see those justices repeatedly mischaracterizing and omitting facts, shaping the narrative to fit their preferred outcome. It’s why the Court keeps doing this little trick of “stealth reversals,” where they overrule precedent without saying they are doing so, though to be fair, John Roberts loves openly overturning precedent when he feels like it.

Second, those same conservatives have also gleefully abandoned any pretense of checking or balancing the executive branch, instead letting themselves become a rubber stamp for Donald Trump’s worst excesses. That was inevitable after the sweet immunity deal Roberts gave Trump to wipe out his staggering amount of criminal charges. Since the start of Trump’s second term, the Court has routinely allowed the administration to implement objectively unconstitutional actions by pretending that they’re simply making a narrow procedural ruling rather than blessing Trump’s wholesale destruction of democracy. The Court has also gone to war with the lower courts, stepping in again and again to block rulings against the administration.

The nation has faced, many times, a conservative Court aligned with bigotry and big business. But the nation has not previously faced a conservative Court aligned with helping the president become a king. The Roberts Court will go down in history as an exceptional Court, though probably not quite in the way John Roberts expects.

Not sure where this should go but a district judge has enjoined Trump administration's birthright citizenship EO.

Ruling from the bench, Judge Joseph N. Laplante of the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire also allowed the case to proceed as a class action, applying his order nationwide to babies born to undocumented parents. After a recent Supreme Court decision limiting nationwide injunctions, lawsuits structured as class actions are effectively the only ones that can halt the president’s policies across broad sections of the country.

I don't know why any of you are still giving clicks to a Nazi-owned site that promotes racism/anti-semitism and all kinds of other bigotry. It looks like the same thread is on Bluesky.

The bigger thing to me is that "Great Thread" with a Xwitter link is useless to me without an account (one that will never again get created). I see a single post and that's it, no means of viewing the rest of the thread. So I need someone to take the bullet and post the link or note that the same can be found on Bluesky or Threads.  Anyway, carry on.
